37. On each long-term loan (loan) attracted for project implementation (further - the credit), conditions of its provision and repayment according to table 4-12 of appendix 4 to these rules are specified. Calculation of repayment of long-term obligations for the credit for the periods (years) of project implementation is given according to table 4-13 of appendix 4 to these rules.

For the purpose of determination of current value of the credit calculation effective percentage stavki1 (further - EPS) by reduction (discounting) of future cash flows on this credit to date of its initial provision to the borrower on formula is perfromed

where DPI - the amount of i-go of cash flow on the credit corresponding to the amount of its provision and repayment;

di - date of i-go of cash flow;

d0 - date of initial cash flow, matches with date of loan granting to the borrower;

365 - the number of days in year;

I - quantity of cash flows on the credit.

In case of determination of EPS the following approaches are observed:

cash flows are calculated based on the detail schedule of provision and repayment of the corresponding credit and consider all finance costs;

the multidirectional cash flows connected with provision and loan repayment join in calculation with opposite mathematical characters - respectively "minus" and "plus";

the commissions, charges (payments) on the credit preceding date of provision to his borrower are included the payments made for date of initial cash flow of d0.

Calculation of EPS is obligatory when attracting for financing of the project of the external state loan and (or) the external loan attracted under guarantees of the Government of the Republic of Belarus.

By provision of the state support in compensation type from budget funds of part of interest for using bank loan EPS taking into account provision of the specified state support can be calculated in addition.

The summary calculation of repayment of long-term obligations including repayment of the existing obligations of the organization is given according to table 4-14 of appendix 4 to these rules.

38. Calculation of profit on sales of products is drawn up according to table 4-15 of appendix 4 to these rules. In this table annually formed profit or losses are reflected.

Calculation of taxes, charges and payments is performed according to table 4-16 of appendix 4 to these rules.

39. Cash flow forecasting is made by calculation of inflows and cash outflows from current (operating room), investing and financial activities of the organization for the periods (years) of project implementation. Distribution in time of inflow of means shall be synchronized with its outflow. At the same time the accumulative balance in cash on the periods (years) of project implementation shall be positive (deficit is not allowed). The cash flow is drawn up according to table 4-17 of appendix 4 to these rules.

40. The project balance list contains the main Articles, such as non-current and current assets, long-term and short-term obligations. This sheet is drawn up according to table 4-18 of appendix 4 to these rules. In case of carrying out payment under the project taking into account results of financial and economic organization activity in general the base period (year) of the project balance list is created based on data of the balance sheet of the organization for the corresponding period (year), on the periods (years) of project implementation - taking into account changes in value of the non-current and current assets and sources of their financing connected with project implementation.

41. In process of project implementation financial and economic part of the business plan can be recalculated in case of change of economic situation, inflation, the markets of finished goods, tax environment and other factors for the purpose of the comprehensive analysis of economic and financial performance, and also development and taking measures aimed at providing efficiency of the implementable project.

Chapter 12. Requirements to contents of the Section of the business plan "Project Performance Indicators"

42. The efficiency evaluation of investments is based on comparison of the expected net income from project implementation for the accepted calculation horizon with the capital invested in it. Calculation of the net cash flow determined as difference between net income by the project and the amount of total investment costs and payments for the credits (loans) connected with implementation of capital costs on the project is the cornerstone of method. Calculation of net cash flow is perfromed according to table 4-19 of appendix 4 to these rules.

Based on net cash flow the main indicators of efficiency evaluation of investments are calculated: the net discounted income, index of profitability (profitability), internal return rate, dynamic payback period.

The discounting coefficient which is used for reduction of future flows and cash outflows for each settlement period (year) of project implementation by initial stage of time is applied to calculation of these indicators. At the same time discounting of cash flows is performed from the moment of initial attachment of investments.

Discounting coefficient in settlement period (year) (Kt)

где Д - ставка дисконтирования (норма дисконта);

t - period (year) of project implementation.

As a rule, the coefficient of discounting is calculated proceeding from the weighted average regulation of discount taking into account capital structure.

The choice of the weighted average regulation of discount (Dsr) for own and loan capital can be determined by formula

where Rsk - interest rate on own means;

SK - share of own means in the total amount of investment costs;

Rzk - loan interest rate;

ZK - credit share in the total amount of investment costs.

The interest rate for own means is accepted at the level not below average cost of financial resources in the capital market.

Acceptance of discount rate at the level of actual rate of percent on long-term currency loans of bank when carrying out payments in freely convertible currency is allowed. In necessary cases the allowance for risk which is added to discount rate for risk-free attachments can be considered.

The net discounted income (further - ChDD) characterizes integral effect of project implementation and is determined as the size received by discounting (in case of permanent discount rate separately for every period (year)) the net cash flow accumulated during the horizon of calculation of the project:

where Pt - net cash flow for the period (year) of t = 1, 2, 3,..., T;

T - calculation horizon. When carrying out payments in Belarusian rubles, attraction of the credits in Belarusian rubles the discount rate is applied without the inflation predicted in the Republic of Belarus;

Д - discount rate.

The formula by calculation of ChDD can be presented in the following form:

where ChDD shows the absolute value of net income brought to the beginning of project implementation and shall have positive value, otherwise the project cannot be considered as effective.

Internal return rate (further - VND) - the integral indicator calculated by finding of discount rate in case of which the cost of future receipts is equal to the cost of investments (ChDD = 0).

VND is determined proceeding from the following ratio:

In case of the income regulation set by the investor on invested funds of investment are justified if VND is equal or exceeds the established indicator. This indicator also characterizes the "margin of safety" of the project which is expressed in difference between VND and discount rate (in percentage terms).

Index of profitability (profitability) (further - IR)

where DI - the discounted cost of total investment costs and payment for the credits (loans) connected with implementation of capital costs on the project for settlement period (the calculation horizon).

Projects are effective under IR more than 1.

The payback period serves for determination of degree of risks of project implementation and liquidity of investments and is calculated from the moment of initial attachment of investments on the project. Differentiate simple payback period and dynamic (discounted). The simple payback period of the project is period of time upon termination of which the net volume of receipts (income) blocks the volume of investment (expenses) into the project, and corresponds to the period in case of which accumulative value of net cash flow changes with negative on positive. Calculation of dynamic payback period of the project is perfromed on the accumulative discounted net cash flow. The dynamic payback period unlike simple considers capital cost and shows real payback period.

43. If the horizon of calculation of the project exceeds dynamic payback period on three and over a year, then for the purposes of project efficiency evaluation calculation of ChDD, IR and VND is performed for the period, equal to dynamic payback period of the project plus one year. In that case this period is accepted to the horizon of calculation of T used in formulas of calculation of ChDD, IR, VND.

44. Calculation of payback of the state support is made according to table 4-20 of appendix 4 to these rules.

Simple and dynamic payback periods of measures of the state support are determined similar to calculations of payback periods of investments.

45. When attracting for project implementation of means in freely convertible currency the balance of cash flows (project valyutookupayemost) in freely convertible currency according to table 4-21 of appendix 4 to these rules is made.

46. Calculation of the predicted liquidity rates, indicators of business activity, capital structure and other indicators is performed on the basis of basic data of tables 4-4, 4-9, 4-14, 4-15, 4-17 and 4-18 of appendix 4 to these rules.

Profitability Level (PL)

where marginal (variable) profit - proceeds from sales of products minus the conditional variable costs and taxes, charges and payments included in revenue.

For ensuring profitability of organization activity the level of profitability shall be no more than 60%.

Coverage ratio of debt (PTDC)

  This coefficient is calculated for every year of repayment of long-term obligations for the purpose of assessment of capability of the organization to repay the debt on long-term loans and loans. Value of PTDC shall exceed 1,3.

When calculating this coefficient repayment in full of principal debt and percent on all long-term loans and loans (except for percent on the credits, loans and other finance costs, which belong on expenses on financial activities) attracted with the organization and due for settlement in the corresponding year of project implementation is considered. If the state support in compensation type from budget funds of part of interest for using bank loans and (or) 50% of the amount of interest payments on the external state loans and external loans obtained under guarantees of the Government of the Republic of Belarus is provided to the organization (further – parts of percent on the credits, loans), or the organization applies for rendering such support, when calculating coverage ratio of debt this measure of the state support is considered.

Profitability:

assets (RA)

sales (turnover) (Rp)

goods sold (Rrp)

Coefficient of current liquidity (Cliques)

Coefficient of security with own current assets (Braids)  

Coefficient of security of obligations with assets (KA)

 

where obligations - the amount of long-term and short-term obligations.

Admissible value for KA - no more 0,85.
